Found a photo of a USATC Whitcomb diesel on the internet at a place called Lake Wales, Florida at what is called the Lake Wales Depot Museum and Cultural Center. Along with the Whitcomb are displayed a SAL wood cupola caboose and what is described as a 1916 Pullman car. I have been unable to find any info on the Pullman. Anybody know the cars history?

Two questions posted, one about the caboose (which isn't for sale) the other this:

Q: Can they be disassembled on site to remove for scrap (1/8/16 3:05 PM)A: The new owner can do that.. yes (1/8/16 3:06 PM)

It actually is unfortunate that they are selling them together, I could see someone wanting either to restore or perhaps the Whitcomb for a display (someone from Rochelle where they were built was asking about the scrap value for such a purpose here just last week) but they are so different I would guess only a scrapper would want both. The reserve hasn't been met, maybe they will rethink it if they don't sell.
